Who takes Fenugreek?

Where do you get your Fenugreek? What brand is it and what form? I have two friends that gave me a bottle of Fenugreek when they stopped BFing. One is the brand Now and is in the form of a 500 mg powder form capsule. The other one is Gaia and it's a vegetarian liquid phyto-cap.

The second one my friend got at Whole Foods and said it costs $20 for a bottle. I don't want to spend that much on something that I will be going through 3 bottles a month. I see some on Amazon for $5 a bottle. I don't want to skimp out and buy a brand that won't work but I also don't want to break the bank on this stuff. 

Also, are you planning to take this for awhile or just until your milk increases to where you want it?

    I am interested in this post as well as I need to increase my supply to keep up with my LO . I saw they have it at Walgreens  for $12. But I'm like you , not sure if the brand matters.

    I saw a bottle on Amazon for about $4 but they didn't have blessed thistle and I wanted to take both.  I think it was a bottle of about 100.  I wound up buying the same brand at a natural food store by me and it was about $7-8 for the bottle.  It was Nature's Way.  I only went through 1 bottle of each of the supplements and then I got really tired of the maple syrup smell.  I now just drink mother's milk tea.  There were reviews that you have to drink gallons of the tea to make a difference, but I'm doing it more for maintenance.  I don't think I could ever make enough milk to pump what my twins would eat.

    Your supply is supposed to stay at the increased level after taking the supplements.  I haven't noticed a drop in my supply since I stopped taking them.
